With a wife, 2 kids and a full time job, I cant really do that, but your videos allow me to have the experience vicariously. I hope one day to follow your path on some of these adventures!

Life is extremely hard right now. Lost my job, went from making 45$ an hour to 18$ an hour, bills are still based around that 45$ income. Working 160 hours a pay period to try to stay on top of things. Got cheated on and am finding myself exiting a 5 year marriage with a two year old son. Moved into my own place. Life is extremely quiet, and I can’t really get out to enjoy the mountains which I relied on to make me happy, so these videos allow me to get out in a way. Things will get better as long as I keep moving forward, I appreciate the content, showing off places without shoving ads down our throats. Your great, keep up the awesome content. While I may not be able to afford it at the time being or have the time, i can’t wait to get back out in the mountains.

I think you’d really enjoy the Appalachian mountain chain ecosystem. Sooo many species of trees and flowers (I believe the most of the varying climates in the USA) and therefore tons of wildlife to see. Native Brook trout are also found in the higher more isolated areas so they are a hidden gem up in the mountains for sure if you like fishing. I find it to be almost rainforest-like in certain places. Incredible video! Found you through lost lakes and glad I did
